I can’t for the life of me figure way the rear down bars are attached to the trunk sheet metal vs. attaching them to the strut towers. This would tie the suspension in and allow for a “strut brace”. Also a diagonal bar would add to torsionally rigidity, something the rear of the cage does not have. I could go much, much further into this, but I will simply bite my tounge for the time being.
